AIP Friendly Carrot Sticks with Avocado Herb Dip
Crunchy, colorful, and genuinely satisfying, this snack is proof that eating clean doesn't have to feel like a compromise. Three ripe avocados get mashed with fresh lime juice, minced garlic, cilantro, parsley, and a hint of ground ginger — the result is a bright, herbaceous dip that's creamy enough to feel indulgent without a single off-protocol ingredient in sight. The avocado base provides healthy fats that make this far more filling than your average veggie tray, while the lime and fresh herbs keep every bite lively and fresh. One of the trickier parts of following a strict elimination protocol is finding snacks that don't rely on grains, legumes, seeds, nightshades, or dairy — this one sidesteps all of them naturally, using only whole foods that fit the framework. Mash the dip to your preferred texture, chunky for a little more body or silky smooth if you prefer, then drizzle in olive oil for a glossy finish. It comes together in minutes and serves four, making it an easy option for an afternoon snack or a crowd-pleasing appetizer at your next gathering. Keep the carrot sticks crisp and cold, and this simple combination will disappear faster than you'd expect.
